Understanding the IDEP/IRIS Interface for Intrastat Reporting

IDEP/IRIS is an abbreviation for Intrastat Data Entry Package/Interactive Registration of the International Trade Statistics. Use the IDEP/IRIS Interface program (R0018I3) to generate an electronic Intrastat declaration in the format required for each country. This table illustrates the countries that are associated with each format:

Format

Where Used

IDEP/CN8

France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, and Luxembourg

CBS-IRIS

Germany

Intrastat declarations are based on the information in the Intrastat Revision table (F0018T). Although the information that is required to appear on the Intrastat report is common for most EU members, reporting requirements vary by country.

Note: Neither the IDEP/CN8 format nor the CBS-IRIS format requires a specific file layout.
